Bookings and payments for your classes

Keep-open gives dance, fitness and wellbeing businesses a booking page of their own. Your customers book and pay online, the money goes straight to your Stripe account, and Keep-open sends the reminders, runs the waiting list and works out refunds from your policy.

It's made for studios, schools and teachers who run classes on set dates, with a limited number of places.

What it does

Keep-open covers the whole booking, from the class page to the refund. You set up your classes, prices and policies once, and Keep-open applies them to every booking.

For your customers

  • A booking page in your own colours, with your logo, that you can also embed in your website.
  • A calendar that shows which days have places, and jumps to the next free date.
  • One booking for several people, such as two adults and a child.
  • Payment by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, plus other ways to pay that you turn on in Stripe.
  • Emails that confirm each booking, a reminder 24 hours before, and a link to manage it.

Classes, tickets and prices

  • Classes, workshops and courses, each with its own dates and number of places.
  • Tickets you set up once, like Adult, Child or Concession, and use on any class.
  • Bundles of dates sold together, such as a month of Wednesdays, or any five classes the customer chooses.
  • An automatic discount for first-timers, and discount codes.
  • Your own cancellation policy, with refunds based on how much notice people give.

Running your classes

  • An admin for you and your staff.
  • A register for every class, with check-in and walk-ins.
  • A waiting list for full classes, which offers a freed place to the next person automatically.
  • Cancel a class and refund everyone booked on it.
  • Refunds paid back through Stripe, with a record of each one.

More is on the way.

How payments work

You take payments through your own Stripe account. Keep-open never holds your money.

  1. Your customer pays on Stripe's secure checkout. Keep-open never sees their card details.
  2. The money goes straight into your Stripe account. Stripe takes its usual processing fee, and you can see every payment in your Stripe dashboard.
  3. Refunds come back out of the same account. They follow the cancellation policy you set.

No booking fees from Keep-open. We don't take a cut of your bookings. You pay us one simple monthly plan instead.

Early access

Keep-open is in early access, working with its first studios. We set up each new business ourselves, so we can get the details right.

Pricing is one simple monthly plan, with no booking fees. While we're in early access, we'll share the details when you get in touch.
